Koskie opts to retire after setback

MESA, Ariz. -- Corey Koskie called off his comeback attempt Saturday, two days after taking himself out of a game because he felt lightheaded.

The 35-year-old third baseman, out of baseball since a 2006 concussion, spent the first seven of his nine big league seasons with the Minnesota Twins. He came to spring training with the Chicago Cubs as a non-roster invitee this year and played in three games, going 1-for-5 with a double.
